Sounders midfielder Nicolas Lodeiro has been voted Major League Soccer’s Player of the Month after scoring two goals and adding six assists in August.
Lodeiro’s arrival in late-July as a Designated Player signing from Boca Juniors helped spark a five-match unbeaten run, and Seattle is 3-1-2 since his acquisition.
The Uruguayan international dished out two assists in the 3-1 win at Orlando on Aug. 7 and two more versus Portland on Aug. 28. He had both a goal and assist against Salt Lake in the middle of the month and rescued a point with a last-minute strike in Houston.
